Popularity of the Baby Name Avah

Posts that Mention the Name Avah

According to early data from Ontario’s Ministry of Government and Consumer Services, the most popular baby names in the province in 2015 were Sophia/Sofia/Sofiya and Jackson/Jaxon/Jaxson/Jaxen/Jaxxon/Jaxyn.

Either that or they were simply Olivia and Liam again.

See, the province decided to pull a Malta this year and lump variant spellings together in the rankings.

Luckily, Ontario didn’t do away with the traditional list altogether, so let’s start there. Here are the projected top 10 girl and boy names of 2015.

On the girls’ list, Ella, Madison and Sadie replace Sophia*, Sarah*, and Hailey*.

Sadie, now 10th, was way down in 55th in 2013. Olivia, the current #1 name, was only in 8th place the previous year.

Regions with smaller populations tend to see more volatility in their baby name rankings from year to year. For scale, the population of Newfoundland and Labrador is a bit lower than that of Wyoming, the least populous U.S. state.
